How often do you clean your home? Are there any techniques you use to reduce dust accumulation? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Or ways to remove that accumulation fast?

Non-vacuum cleaner tips would be more actionable for me currently, but please do share your ways.

I'll second the robot vacuum. Doesn't even have to be an expensive one or a "top reviewed" blah blah(don't get a lemon though). It's not a replacement for a vacuum or having to clean, it's just a nice little companion that helps out a little and reminds you that you have to clean. Don't have one myself but a relative does and it's fun to see (over there a lot to help out because they're older).

If you're into sci-fi or electronics or little animal/robot companions in games, it kinda feels exactly the same but in person. Such a strange sensation to feel joy when the little robot guy runs between your feet or you have to shoo them out of the bathroom so you can use it lol. Even my older relative kinda treats it like a pet but all you have to do is empty it's belly.

Thirding on the robot. Mine is connected to Home Assistant (that's another rabbit hole to jump in) and it cleans the whole flat whenever nobody is at home. Basically every day at least once and we never get annoyed by it's sound.
